Your Love Story (Part 10): The Call



I am used to Firesola’s questions. Most of them are beyond the mind of a child, but I have learned never to ignore her questions. They often look like they come from the gift of the Spirit- word of knowledge or word of wisdom. It has saved me many times, so I knew Seun would either soon call me or she was the one that called the previous night. I didn’t pay Firesola’s question plenty attention in her presence. I got to work before I examined the number that called me. I called the number, but it was switched off. I knew Firesola will ask me again so I said a silent prayer; ‘God save Seun and make her call me again’. It was as if the heavens were waiting for that prayer because a text message entered my phone immediately I finished saying the prayer.

‘Come and take me home. I want to come home’. I replied; ‘where are you?’ I got an address. I believe this must be Seun. I forwarded the address to two friends and told them that if they didn’t hear from me in the next 2 hours, they should come to that address with the police. Could this be the end of the trouble in my marriage? I was excited at the thought of hope materializing. Google map helped me to locate the address. It is a bungalow with a very tall fence. How do I get inside? I tried contacting the number, but I didn’t get a reply again. Who will I say I am looking for? What if it’s not Seun? This could be a set up to even kidnap or rob me. I said a word of prayer and moved towards the gate of the building.

The gate was opened, but nobody answered my knocks. I entered the compound hoping I won’t meet a German shepherd. The house is built like a small palace. Magnificent! ‘Good morning’ kept on coming out my mouth to show that I am not a thief, but a visitor in case someone finds me. I was becoming scared when no one answered my calls. What is this place? Does anyone live here? I entered the building and kept moving till I started hearing someone sobbing softly. I gently opened the door of the room. It was a large room. I found Seun on her knees, bound hands and foot, with a tapper on her mouth. A guy sat on a chair close to her. He held a cigar between his left fingers and his right hand firmly held a gun!

I recognized him. This is the man that snatched me wife from me. He smiled when I walked into the room. ‘This is true love’, he said. ‘I have been waiting for this day I will waste her in front of you. Your wife thinks she can leave me. After all I have done for her. Took her career to the highest point where you could not get her to. Gave her every single thing she requested and now, she wants to leave! She wants to eat her cake and still have it! She cannot ridicule me and get away with it. Today is the last day I will take insult from her.’ His voice sounded like a wounded lion. I saw white powder on the stool beside him. It must be hard drugs.

He told me how she lied about going to UK for 6 months because she wanted to get away with him. He also shared many sexual escapades they had. I knew what he was doing. He wanted me to hate Seun, so he smeared her before me. All the while, I fixed my eyes on Seun. Her face had been bruised. Oh dear! I concentrated my thoughts at how much I will always love her. I won’t allow this man to make me hate my wife. I’m not giving up when I have come this close already. He pointed the gun at Seun and said ‘go to hell!’, but I interrupted him by pleading. He was shocked that I could plead. He looked at me and said ‘this woman left you for over two years with a 9 months old baby and you’re here pleading for her life?’

I managed to move in between him and Seun. I don’t want Seun to be hurt. His gun was now pointing at me. I have never been in close contact with a gun this much. I pleaded to allow her to go since he had already beaten her. I said she has learned her lesson. He was resolute. He asked me to move away, but I insisted that my wife will not be hurt in my presence. The fact that I still called her my wife amazed him. He said she is not worthy of been called my wife any longer. She has dragged my love in the mud.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...
